Look, the only way this gets turned into a pissing contest is by knee jerk members jumping in and going 'how DARE you ask these kinds of questions? What gives you the right to doubt or even speculate about things like this? Surely you should just drop to your knees and worship at the feet or Ketron...' Oh, and my personal favorite... 'Who even CARES about the difference between different chords - if I can't tell the difference between a C6 and a C69, how DARE you?' As if anyone else is likely to buy one either... I guess some people don't like their little daydreams punctured by reality... See, I think the difference must be that I actually EXPECT an arranger to play a C7#9 when I do. Or a Cmin(maj7). Lord knows what all these apologists (this must be a first... fanboy defenders of an arranger that nobody yet owns, and even fewer have played!) expect. But I guess it simply demonstrates what this forum seems to be all about... All out camped warfare between defenders and critics of our favorite arrangers. Of course, again I have to point out, no-one even HAS one to 'defend'. All I have tried to do is get a straight answer to a salient technical question (salient to all but those who don't even CARE whether the arranger plays the chord YOU played!) from the manufacturers and representatives (seeing as how they are here, posting) and somehow, there are members here who feel duty bound to leap to it's 'defense' I just don't get it... Doesn't anyone else give a damn whether it plays the chords you tell it to..? I can tell you one thing without the slightest doubt. If my Roland could not play the chords you ask it to, at least Ian and Donny would be all over it. Or a Korg. Why is the Ketron getting a free pass..? Aren't you all MUSICIANS? You really don't care about what chords the audio plays or not...? Damn! You must be Ketron's target demographic after all... [This message has been edited by Diki (edited 01-26-2009).]

10% will say "I'm getting one!" 50% will complain that it's too expensive, heavy, flimsy etc. 30% will say "it doesn't have enough sounds in it, or it doesn't have enough styles available!" 10% will say "maybe I'll get one someday". Of the 20% who indicated that they might or definitely would purchase, 0.5% will actually do so, yielding total sales of 4 keyboards. Probably not enough to start an Audya forum. Ian

All i can say is that i agree with Travilin and the only people talking about this is only the people that will never buy AUDYA. It always works like that, its a rule of nature, none of my buying customers ever called me and killed me with questiones about my styles, sounds or whatever. They just send the payment and wait for the product. Then there is the others, i dont wanna name them here on this forum, similar to them...calling 5 times a week, asking every detail and never buying anything. I was Moderator on Korgs forums, it was always the same story. I am involved with Korg Italy, directly or indirectly, same story. I am involved with Ketron, directly or indirectly... again is the same story. And the worst of all is, anytime a new product comes up its the same exact people ALL OVER BSting on the forums. In my country they say... TRYING TO PUT A HANDLE ON AN EGG...

Originally posted by Fran Carango: Ian , I have to add..I played all the Yamaha piano keybeds (under $800)..and not a single one feels better playing piano..than the G70...

I’m sorry, Fran, if you were right, I’d agree with you...but.. It's been quite obvious for some time that you aren't a piano player, so I'll take your opinion of piano actions with a grain of salt. And yes, your precious G70 piano is uneven in the middle...if you can't hear it, it says more about you than the inconsistency of the instrument. Play the notes slowly, starting at "A" below middle "C" and play up to the "C" above middle "C"....and listen carefully...I did, and so did many others and the consensus was that they are uneven...different tones, and different decays. Picky...yep...totally, but no piano sound is perfect, and the G70's, although very nice, is no different... it's disappointing, dear fellow, but true. It may be perfect for you, but I can't say it would work for me...most of my arranger piano playing is in the middle, as it is for many others. Now, go back to your hog washing...glad to see you're keeping busy..you know what they say about "idle hands". Ian You know...you're right...now I feel better, too.
